DRIED SWEET CORN.
How Farmers Can Make a Prime Quality
of This Favorite Article.

now FARMERS Can MAKE Srime Quality
of This Favorite Article.
There have been many inquiries of
late as to the market for dried sweet
corn. We have endeavored to secure
some information on the subject, but
the industry is at present in an unde-
veloped state and reliable statistics are
hardly obtainabIe. The few facts de-
veloped may be of interest to our
readers. The corn-canning industry has
assumed enormous proportions. Canned
corn is now the favorite canned vege-
table. 1t finds an extended use even in
farmers and gardeners families. They
seem to consider it cheaper to sell their
own corn on the market and buy the
canned article than to try and do their
own canning. Many farmers dry or
evaporatc their own corn, using q
cheap evaporation which can be used
for fruits also. A good article can
be secured in this way. The
home canning of corn is not sue
cess, apparently. Many good house
wives who obtain excellent results with
fruits fail with sweet corn. To obtain
Il prime article of evaporated sweet
corn the ears are picked when the kern
els are so fall of milk that they will
squirt when pressed between the fingers.
The evaporation should be done as soon
after picking as possible. The ears are
put into boiling water for about five

a sharp knife and placed in the evap-
orators. The kernels are not cut off
whole, but sliced so that each kernel is
left in two or three pieces. The germ
is scraped from the cob with blunt
knife. When the evaporators are used
muslin cloths are placed on the trays
On these the sliced corn is thinly spread
The Shakers of Mt. Lebanon have until
within few years supplied most of the
dried corn on the market They write
as follows concerning the industry:
1--WE supply about 5000 barrels of
dried corn annually. The market is
variable; sometimes our entire crop is
early in the season, and again, though
rarely, we have been compelled to carry
over small quantities to the next season.
The demand slowly increases, but both
the market and demand are largely
dependent upon the output of canned
corn. The corn is first cooked by
steam, and then evaporated in kilns by
hot air. Four to five quarts of green corn
are required to make one of dry. When
our people first introduced this industry,
the product sold readily at about fiji
teen to sixteen cents per pound; it is
now worth from seven to nine cents. "

NEW POULTRY BREEDS,
a Shadow That Is Eagerly Pursued by
Many Chicken Fanciers.

Many Chicken Fanciers.
1t is well established fact that new
and improved breeds can be formed if
the right course is followed. 1t has
been done, and very effectually as we
all know. The Brahmas and Plymouth
Rocks are both notable instances. But
even after breed has been successfully
established it can be greatly i'm
proved upon by careful, judicious mat
ing, and many of the breeds we have
to-day are far superior to the descrip-
ton of them when they first came into
public notice.
A distinct separate breed is not. how
ever, as easy to form as many breeders
suppose. 1t is often the case that be-
ginners get an idea into their heads
that they can establish some new va
riety with but very little trouble, and
generally they are very DESTROYS of
having this honor. Cases have come
under my notice and observation, where
the beginner starts with glorious ex-
pectations and thinks he can form a
new and popular variety by expert
menting two or three years and cross
ing some of the breeds we now have,
but in most cases, instead of producing
any thing valuable and distinct, the
result is generally Il very mixed flock,
both in looks and reality.
have had long letters from just such
beginners who 90 into details and ex-
plain just what crosses they have made
and what kind Of chicks they succeeded
in getting, and they then want to know.
or get some idea of what the result
would be by crossing still another breed
with the mixture they already have.
The principal object in breeding is to
get some uniform color that is little
different from any thing we may have.
and in most cases they do not pay any
particular attention to the useful quail
ties of the fowls they use in mating
their hens, their highest aim being to
place some new colored breed on the
market with their name as the origin
ator.
Now, there has never been and can
never be any new breed established and
become useful and popular except
through long years of labor. expert
menting and watching the results OBJ
tanned by slow degrees during the care
full manipulations necessary to produce
the breed.
Now, it seems reasonable to me, and
l think it would to any person who has
watched such experiments, that it would
be much better in the end, and more
profitable to these beginners, if they
would use their study and experiments
on the breeds we already have, and try
to improve them and bring them up to
higher standard of excellence.
1t would be much better to give par
ticular attention to the utility or real
value of the stock, such as laying ca
pability, large size, etc, etc, and only
select the best and most promising spec
imcns as breeders, and in such cases
the result would be that the fowls would
reach much higher standard of util-
ity, and it would be much better for all
concerned if this method of breeding
was followed carefully, rather than
irving to form some new breed of diff
fcrent color, but having no particular
meI'it.-Ge0. T.. MarstoR, in Western
